The Journey
After playing football at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Kalombo was selected in the 7th round of the 1991 NFL’s WLAF (World League of American Football) Draft Combine by the Sacramento Surge. There, he made history with a 70-yard fumble return for a game-winning touchdown—a league record.
Transitioning from athlete to expert, Kalombo spent over a decade coaching professional athletes in performance optimization, while also rising to national recognition as a media fitness guru. His morning segment, “Get Fit with Kalombo,” aired on NBC News Charlotte and reached audiences in 35 U.S. markets.
